Desperados Snatch Late-Game, 2-1 Win
The Medford Desperados called upon starter Ruben Espinoza, and he delivered, leading his team to victory over the Aurora Paints, 2-1. The losing streak for Aurora has now reached 5 games.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Medford. That's when 21-year old second baseman Chris Reese hit a run-scoring double off Carlos Rios to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

Espinoza attributed the win to his team's "steely resolve."
